About Marie
Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She talks with clients about everyday struggles like parenting strain, relationship conflict, feeling isolated, or coping with big life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole to better match cultural and language needs.
Her style is warm and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set clear, practical goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on skills that can be used between sessions, such as communication techniques, coping plans, and problem-solving steps. Marie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories about themselves and on motivational interviewing to build motivation for change.
In practice, sessions cover a wide range of concerns - from trauma and abuse to self-esteem, anger, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image issues, commitment and control problems, and isolation. Marie has eight years of clinical experience working with diverse clients across cultural backgrounds.
Her Florida LMHC credential is listed as LMHC. She aims to create a respectful space where goals are practical and progress is steady.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to create practical, goal-focused online therapy. Client-centered therapy means she listens without judgment and follows the client's pace, helping to clarify values and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.She also uses narrative ideas to help people rewrite unhelpful self-stories and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. Together these approaches give room for both emotional processing and step-by-step behavior change. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing feedback between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
